Listen in the reader

You've married her, And fear to vex her and so take her part.

MAURTEEN (to FATHER HART)

It is but right that youth should side with youth; She quarrels with my wife a bit at times, And is too deep just now in the old book! But do not blame her greatly; she will grow As quiet as a puff-ball in a tree When but the moons of marriage dawn and die For half a score of times.
